Weaving together empowering messages for the times, Four Questions portrays the pioneering pianist as outspoken as ever on the obligation of artists to speak truth to the great injustices occurring across the globe. Along with the pandemic and racial unrest in America, it’s the perfect time to have this material out .. he explains .. Enjoy…
